DO NOT BUY: It has Polyethylene (micro beads) and Polysorbate 20
The product description is misleading, tricking consumer to believe it's a natural and organic and product. At least two of the key ingredients are not good either for human or for marine life. I bought it because of all the good reviews. When I received the product I got suspicious of the presence of poly beads as i could clearly see bluish beads all over which looked anything but natural. I googled and found out a 2016 list of US products that contain poly beads and sure enough this product is one of those. Here are couple of link for anyone interested to look for herself: [...] [...] This is so disappointing. These plastic beads are causing tremendous harm to the ocean creatures as these can not be strained out during sewage treatment process. This ingredient is banned in the state of Illinois and there is a proposal to put a nation wide ban on micro beads. Also if you scan the ingredient list the second ingredient listed is Polysorbate 20 which again is another debatable ingredient. google the term and one can see all the warnings against continuous exposure to Polysorbate 20, especially skin exposure. I, for myself, cannot use this product after knowing what goes in, especially because I quit using personal care products containing micro bead years ago. I am sure those of us who are using and liking this product were tricked in believing every word that so wrongfully describes the product as a natural one and did not feel the need to take a closer look to the ingredients. As far as the 'Certified Organic Shea Butter' (which is brazenly displayed as ingredient on the lid) is concerned, that's a distant 9th ingredient in the actual list while Polysorbate 20 makes it to the second place. Will ask for a refund for wrong product description.
